Lynn Harold Loomis (25 April 1915 – 9 June 1994) was an American mathematician working on analysis. Together with Hassler Whitney, he discovered the Loomis–Whitney inequality.
Loomis received his PhD in 1942 from Harvard University under Salomon Bochner with thesis Some Studies on Simply-Connected Riemann Surfaces: I. The Problem of Imbedding II. Mapping on the Boundary for Two Classes of Surfaces. After completing his PhD, Loomis was a professor at Radcliffe College and from 1949 at Harvard. From 1956, he was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[1]
